Re: Whistler falls to the fritter
Quit knocking him, it is his job after all. Plus, he was only ticketing above 50 in a 35 zone. That's pretty good if you ask me.
If ya'll want to hear my story, keep reading:
Driving 52 in a 50 zone, straight, 2-lane road, no bikers/walkers, no traffic in front or behind me in my lane. A few cars around the bend in the distance coming towards me.
Lady in a blue wagon ('05-'09) pulls in front of me, passing a stop sign at at least 15mph. Doesn't accelerate past 20mph.
My brakes suck, I shift into 4th and try braking, but when I realize she isn't speeding up, I put my turn signal on, mash the accelerator, and try to pass her.
I pass her safely at about 55mph max speed, start slowing down when I'm back in my lane.
When I get back down to 50, the oncoming trafic passes me after 20 seconds. Second or third car back is a blue Crown Vic.
I get pulled over, given a warning for 61 (didn't say the PSL on the ticket). My mother, who always watches my speedo, tells me that I never passed 55 or 56.
When he says he's finished, I say "well, if I may ask, which do you think would have been safer to do? Try braking and dive off the road or into oncoming traffic's lane while I slow down, or pass her?"
Get this: he replys: "well, if you were drivin' a Mustang five-oh, it woulda been one thing, but driving a xxxxxxx is another."
I was very unamused, and when I got home to think about it I got pissed.
